Hmm. I just had another idea. Maybe it's easier to return -ENOIOCTLCMD
from ->ioctl_compat() in order to get back to the hash lookup. How
about the change below?

        else if (filp->f_op && filp->f_op->ioctl_compat) {
                error = filp->f_op->ioctl_compat(filp->f_dentry->d_inode,
                                                 filp, cmd, arg);
-               goto out;

+                        goto out;
        }
